Common questions in Westhumble
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Westhumble close to London?
About 20 miles from central London.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- A photo of the cooking area
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from the home
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A spot that keeps access clear
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
